| Moldova/Transnistria : 2006 |
| In close association with the evangelical churches in Moldova and Transnistria a medical team was sent to serve the poor of this region. In addition, the team visited a women's prison, an orphanage and a Moldovan center for the 'street' children.
Arrangements were made to use various church facilities as clinic sites. The team brought medicines from the USA and purchased some locally.
